No man is an island

"Ask not for whom the bell tolss, it tolls for thee... No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. Any man's death diminishes me, beacuse I'm involved in mandkind." Quote from poetry of John Donne

Its a strange feeling when you are in so many ways quite alone, but there is comfort in knowing first that there is a God who is providing and protecting and who has lived this life; and second, while no human being will live my life exactly, and I can never truly understand the life of another, we do share something with all of humanity. This life it its constant cycle, this Dantean wheel of fate has certain common elements that no man will ever avoid. with those unpleasantries of human experience come the divine joys that only we blessed humans have the great capacity to fully appreciate. The stages of man are many and varried but liken to all men. There is comfort. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, but acknowledge that it tolls. For you and I it tolls. Every time.
